I guess you mean cypress or chamaecyparis, not cedar.

If your tree smells nice, it could also belong to the cypress group. See for ex.

I must say that I find all those trees with scaly foliage very hard to keep apart. They can be junipers, Chamaecyparis, Cypress, Cupressocyparis, Thuja and heaven knows what else. I wish you good luck!
